"It has been a tough fall league for the Glendale Desert Dogs. They dropped five of their six contests last week, moving into last place in the league, and the Atlanta Braves prospects haven't done much to help them out. Jim Jarvis and Luke Sinnard had a strongly positive impact on the team, but only in limited playing time, and elsewhere Braves players struggled to have good days."
"It was a forgettable week for Nacho Alvarez, who once again struggled to make any solid contact across significant playing time. Alvarez was able to break into the extra base hit column with a couple of doubles on Friday, though only one of those was a hard hit ball. Otherwise he did very little in terms of making valuable contact, until the final day of the week when he had his hardest hit ball."
Glendale Desert Dogs dropped five of six games and occupy last place in the fall league. Atlanta Braves prospects provided limited help overall, with Jim Jarvis and Luke Sinnard delivering the few notable positive contributions in limited playing time. Team fall totals show a .231 batting average, .412 on-base percentage, and a low slugging line with few extra-base hits and ten walks. Nacho Alvarez struggled to make consistent, solid contact despite a couple of doubles and a 100 mph barreled fly that did not leave the park. Trent Buchanan settled after rough openings, threw strikes in both outings, but allowed inherited runners to score after a soft single and a fielding error.
